Inscription.
"Members of women's rights groups don't make any sense and I have talked with some of them. They say that they have no individuality as women. That when a woman marries she loses her name so she loses her individuality. I think women who feel this way don't have a feeling of individuality to begin with."¹ When asked about the "Miss America image," pam replied, "I think the Miss America image is the girl that year. And I've been Pam Eldred all year."²
